We have usedAFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) DNA markers to analyze 78 B. anthracis isolates and six related Bacillus species for molecular variation.

UsingAFLP, up to 50 polymorphic genetic markers per AFLP-PCR amplification were generated, and a total of 220 variable markers overall.

Totally 210 individuals from 14 populations-five from Xinjiang, two from Kangding (Tibetan Plateau), and seven from Central Asia were identified usingAFLP technology.
